Recruitment for the Poland Emergency Medical Team PCPM is underway. This is the first and only group in Poland set up for rapid response to humanitarian crises and natural disasters and certified by the WHO (World Health Organization).

The response to COVID-19 in Tajikistan is WHO/Europe’s largest emergency operation in the European Region to date. At the Government’s invitation, a WHO mission arrived on the ground in May.
